I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 763: Speech at the Sect Founding Ceremony

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin arranged for Ye Ling and Shan Ruxuan to be seated in the VIP area.

The clash between the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Four Nine Immortal Sect was still being enthusiastically discussed upon by the various immortal sects in attendance.

However, based on the outcome of the clash alone, the reputation of Four Nine Immortal Sect would receive a huge boost. At the very least, the majority of the immortal sect representatives already viewed the Four Nine Immortal Sect as equal to the nine imperial families.

Various sect leaders conversed with An Lin, and they all showed him great respect.

However, this made An Lin feel a little uncomfortable.

There was even an old cultivator of the Return to Void Stage who addressed him as Senior An Lin…

An Lin was completely dumbstruck at the time.

This f*cking guy… You’re at a higher rank than me, and you’re also older than me… Why the hell are you addressing me as Senior?!

An Lin politely declined the elderly cultivator’s honorific way of addressing him. However, the elderly cultivator still persisted. He said that an impressive individual who dared to challenge the number one sword immortal of the continent had to be viewed as his role model—in other words, treated as his senior!

What else could An Lin say? Abiding by the principle of respecting the old and cherishing the young, An Lin let the elderly cultivator call him whatever made him happy.

The sect founding ceremony of Four Nine Immortal Sect was about to begin, and the representatives of various large sects of the Kingdom of the Nine States had already arrived.

The representatives of the Heavenly Court, three large super sects, nine imperial families, fifty-five first-rate sects, and over five hundred medium to large scale sects were all gathered upon a spacious Dao Plaza, which was paved with space grey jade. In total, there were over ten thousand powerful and esteemed cultivators in attendance.

A feeling of immense pride welled up in An Lin as he walked up to the stage of the Dao Plaza and gazed at the tens of thousands of sect representatives who had come from all over the Kingdom of the Nine States to congratulate them.

Would you look! These cultivators have all come to my new sect to congratulate us!

There was a glimmer in An Lin’s eyes as he stood on the stage. His white robe was graceful and elegant, and his shoulder-length black hair fluttered in the wind. He appeared noble and otherworldly.

Everyone had their eyes fixed on him.

A look of adoration appeared in the eyes of many female cultivators as they gazed at the male on the stage.

Even male cultivators were in admiration of his poise and demeanor; they felt that he was the embodiment of true manliness.

At this moment, An Lin was dazzling.

This wasn’t because of his status alone, it was also due to his matching strength and courage.

An Lin cleared his throat and started delivering his sect founding ceremony speech.

First off, he thanked the various sect representatives for finding time in their busy schedules to attend this founding ceremony.

Uh-huh… They’d come to gift money after all; of course he had to thank them!

Then, he started expounding the foundational ideologies of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

In the past, An Lin hated listening to speeches delivered by higher-ups. That was because he found their speeches to be boring and full of nonsense.

However, when the moment came for him to deliver a speech, he suddenly discovered that the feeling of speaking before tens of thousands of people was truly amazing!

Could you envisage it? A scene where tens of thousands of powerful cultivators were gazing at you as they listened to you speak… Even if you were speaking nonsense, the feeling would still be amazing!

Thunderous applause sounded from below the stage as An Lin finished off a section of his speech.

An Lin squinted his eyes in satisfaction as he listened to the applause.

If he were given the chance, he could utter absolute nonsense for days on end!

Moreover, he finally understood why the higher-ups were always so animated and enthusiastic when they uttered complete drivel on the stage… It truly felt amazing having tens of thousands of people listen to you as you rambled on!

An Lin paused for a moment before continuing, “Next, I’ll speak about the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s core values: prosperity, democracy, culture, harmony, freedom, equality, rule of law, love for the sect, dedication, integrity, and friendship!”

The core members of Four Nine Immortal Sect all wore faint smiles on their faces.

In contrast, the tens of thousands of sect representatives all had looks of confusion and bewilderment.

This is the cultivation world, understand?! Did something strange just make its way into this world?

An Lin started speaking again.

“I’ll talk about prosperity first. Wealth and resources are the cornerstones for the foundation and expansion of this sect. Thus, our sect will strive to grow larger and stronger. We’ll strive to have more spirit stones than others, we’ll strive to have more magic treasures than others, we’ll strive to have more powerful cultivation techniques than others, and we’ll most definitely strive to have more powerful disciples than others! Strength is the only universal law; Four Nine Immortal Sect’s aim is to become the most powerful sect in the world!”

Liu Qianhuan, Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, and the other core members of the sect all started clapping enthusiastically.

The tens of thousands of sect representatives were completely dumbfounded as they hesitantly clapped along.

So… this was what prosperity meant?

“Number two is democracy! The Four Nine Immortal Sect isn’t a sect where the sect leader has absolute say in all matters. We adopt the system of cabinet meetings, whereby each pavilion lord and elder has one vote in the decision of all important matters…

“Number three is culture. We don’t bully mortal humans, we don’t bully the weak, and we condemn evil and encourage good. We aim to be civilized members of society…

“Number four is harmony. We’ll never attack others for no reason. However, if anyone actively provokes and challenges our sect, then our Four Nine Immortal Sect will crush them to death!

“Number five is freedom. It’s the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s freedom to do whatever it wants. As long as it isn’t something abhorrent, I hope that other sects all keep their noses out of our business. If anyone speaks out of turn or tries to interfere, then don’t be surprised if the Four Nine Immortal Sect comes to pummel you!”

“Number six is equality…”

…

Dozens of reporters for various well-known newspapers scribbled furiously as they recorded An Lin’s words. The more they wrote, the more worked up they became. These core values were absolutely marvelous!

These values were domineering and advanced; they would definitely cause a huge stir throughout the entire continent!

Afterward, An Lin also detailed his vision regarding equality, rule of law, love for the sect, dedication, integrity, and friendship.

These core values covered all facets of the sect, from its external relations to its internal relations and to its internal running… Everything was well-founded and brilliant. Not only were the audience members astonished, but they were also able to feel the unique nature of this new sect.

Another round of thunderous applause sounded as An Lin finished his speech.

Bai Ling, Tang Ximen, and the other core members were all smiling in gratification.

Many sect representatives were also feeling heartfelt admiration for this new sect. Their views on the Four Nine Immortal Sect had been washed anew.

Love and adoration twinkled in the eyes of some of the female cultivators as they gazed reverently at the white-robed male on the stage.

In their eyes, An Lin was a commanding sect leader!

Fanciful daydreams of the commanding sect leader falling in love with them were already running wild in their minds…

There was a faint smile tugging at the corners of Lin Junjun’s lips. “The core values of Four Nine Immortal Sect are too domineering, don’t you think? Setting aside their strength, their values are overbearing and almost bordering on tyrannical! Only shameless people like An Lin would dare to expound such values before all the immortal sects of the Kingdom of the Nine States.”

“An Lin is the perfect choice for the role of the sect leader of Four Nine Immortal Sect!” another member of the Heavenly Court nodded and said.

Representatives for the other sects were also conversing quietly about this new sect.

If other small-scale sects babbled out such core values, they would definitely be lambasted as stupid c*nts.

However, the strength of the Four Nine Immortal Sect was clear for all to see. Thus, the discussions all revolved around light-hearted banter or the anticipated direction of development.

Some representatives from smaller scale sects had their heads in the clouds, and they truly started discussing the possibility of the Four Nine Immortal Sect becoming the number one sect in the world. Their absurd remarks were naturally the target of ridicule for other nearby sect representatives.

Just leave these fanciful thoughts to yourself, yeah? They’ve barely founded their sect, and you’re imagining them shooting up to the stars; you’re dreaming, right?!

“I hereby declare… the establishment of the Four Nine Immortal Sect!”

At this moment, deafening applause reverberated through the heavens.

Boom!

Iridescent rays of light lit up the entire sky.

As if under the influence of some invisible power, bursts of propitious auras rose from the earth. Divine sounds hovered in the air, and the shadows of dragons and phoenixes danced in the sky.

Like a rain of petals, boundless amounts of golden flame feathers drifted down from the skies. They were dazzling in their magnificence.

Blue arcs of lightning flashed across the sky, and the rumbles of thunder that accompanied them sounded like the explosions of firecrackers.

The cultivators all raised their heads to witness this spectacular scene.

At this moment, the divine atmosphere reached a climax.

With hundreds of sects as their witnesses, the Four Nine Immortal Sect was formally established!
